Like a Vararam?

Yes, it's horrible. My window sticker said 20 hwy, no way it touches that. Read the forums, even the new ones with the 8-speeds aren't getting anywhere close to the sticker. With my Silverado, I can beat the sticker if I take it easy.

Strange, I could definitely tell when the MDS kicked in on my Hemi. Then I cut the factory muffler off and put a 14" Magnaflow on it, after that the MDS drone was horrible so I turned it off with a tuner.

I can definitely tell when it switches modes, but it is smoother than the Hemi Ram version.

I came from a 2012 Hemi Ram. On the performance section of the forums it was thought that the sealed style (S&B was the most popular) makes the most power. The open style winds up sucking hot air in from the engine compartment. There were even a few guys that made dyno runs to prove it, in fact one of the open air style's made less horsepower than the factory box with a K&N drop in filter. The open air style makes a lot more intake noise than the sealed, so that could be a plus or minus depending on your taste. I wound up putting an S&B on my Ram and I was pleased with it. If they make one for the Silverado I'll do the same.

Bakflip's are great. I have an Access Vanish on mine because I did not want to pay for a Bakflip, lol.

I think so. I think most of my gas mileage takes a shit in the winter due to remote start and a short 4 mile drive to work.

I believe him for a 25 mile average. My best 25 mile average is 29.4, that was on a flat highway with cruise control @ 58mph. I generally get around 17-18 though, even less now that it's cold and I'm using remote start.

Yeah, I think I might have a bad thermostat. I've never had a vehicle take this long to warm up.

I've pretty much been doing the same thing. Even after two 10 minute starts the coolant temp is just starting to show on the gauge. Is yours like that?

The whole reason for remote start is to avoid having to do that. Also, this truck doesn't fit in my garage. This is my fourth vehicle with remote start, I consider it as common as power windows these days.

I have a 3 minute drive to work, all I want is the damn windshield to defrost so I can see. It's not even what I consider real cold here, and the current alloted time doesn't defrost it. The truck's not even up to temperature by the time I get to work, I just find that odd. I've had remote start on my last 4 vehicles, and they all were up to temperature when I would get in to drive to work. This truck just doesn't want to warm up. My 2012 Ram would have the window defrosted in 5 minutes. Do we have an extra large capacity cooling system on these trucks? Is it possible I have a faulty thermostat?

Ugh, that doesn't help much. Wish there was a setting I could change.
